From the moment Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, Marvel nerds have waited and waited and waited for the day when Marvel would announce its own X-Men movie.

That was 2017. Since then, Marvel made Deadpool & Wolverine, threw Patrick Stewart’s Professor X into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, teased the addition of the X-Men to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe in a Marvel post-credits scene, and just introduced a new Jean Grey, played by Sadie Sink, as a surprise in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Later this year, the Fox X-Men cast will get what feels like one final hurrah in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which co-stars Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen (Magneto), James Marsden (Cyclops), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Channing Tatum (Gambit).

What happens after Doomsday. Well, first Avengers: Secret Wars happens. But after that, the X-Men are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, full stop. Today as part of a panel at the D23 convention, Marvel confirmed the cast and release date of the film.

They are (at least so far):

• Christopher Abbott as Professor X
• Samara Weaving as Emma Frost
• Kit Connor as Cyclops
• Sadie Sink as Jean Grey
• Inde Navarrette as Rogue
• Maya Boyd as Storm
• Adam Driver as Mister Sinister
